that dark brown also means shes stresses this is not going to go well i just wanan let you know...prepare for alot...im just warning ...but if u can nurse her back to health itl all be worth it.just stay on the forum and we will help you
 
I don't understand why you are using a Vita spray. Nothing you spray on the cham will give it needed nutrition. Looks like she has some sort of prolapse or impaction problem. She needs a vet ASAP.
 
the calcium is D-3 that i use, and she is usually a tan color when im not bothering her to pick her up but she has been opening her mouth and i think wanting to bite me when i pick her up, she never has done this before...

I have to agree her vent does not look healthy, I would call a vet asap
 
a vet bill could differ depending on the problem ...her back legs , her vent, and her color , and her tail are all in bad shape ...she needs a vet. she WILL die soon if this is not corected. its enividibley your choice. but she neeeeeds a vet like now
